Gifting handbags requires a special knack. While most women are familiar with the different kinds of handbags, men can be left bewildered when they come face-to-face with an astounding array of totes, clutches, handbags and what have you. However, here is a unisex guide to the art of gifting handbags.  

While presenting cute handbags, choose one to match the personality and taste of the user. After all, a handbag is also a fashion accessory and has to be considered from that point of view as well. 

Leather handbags are stylish and extremely durable and the most popular. For the hard core career woman, you will find formal handbags in straight simple lines, pick one that has many compartments that allow her to organize her things well. Most women would love a leather handbag but this gift could offend animal lovers, so do your research first.  

Handbags in luxury materials like satins and silks are perfect to convey to your recipient ‘You are special’. Look out for those with Swarovski crystal embellishments or stone embellishments. This is perfect for any woman. 

If you are gifting a handbag to mark a really special occasion, splurge and gift Christian Dior, Prada, Gucci, Chloe and Balenciaga designer handbags. These are gifts that speak a world about your fine taste and generosity. 

If you are checking out handbags for the party animal, look for those in bright colors with beads, embroidery, innovative patches and sequins. For chic women, choose elegant clutches featuring a dash of the exotic like velvet, fur, sequins, silk, satin, pearls, feathers, jewels, and others.

If you are looking for a handbag for the woman with a devil-may care attitude, pick something that looks good and requires low maintenance. Denim handbags and patch-work patterned handbags are a good choice. 

Functional totes are great for busy women as they are non-fussy and roomy. Perfect for those on the go, especially those with small kids in tow, when one wants to stuff in one more pack of cookies, this fits the bill. These usually come in materials like cotton, canvas and so on. Drawstring bags and hobos are also handy as one can just dump stuff in. If your recipient is a sporty or outdoorsy kind, a rucksack would be a good idea. 

Once you’ve picked the right handbag, put in a few useful things like a vanity mirror, handkerchiefs and don’t forget to add a few dollars to bring good luck.
